Today we bid farewell to newly promoted MSG Trevor Bradford, who has excelled as the Logistics NCO for the 47th. Trevor will now utilize his expertise as the Logistics NCOIC at the 184th ESC. We extend our gratitude to Trevor for his outstanding four-year tenure and wish him continued success in his new assignment.

Friday, 17 October, we hosted a reunion for former members of the 47th CST. What an amazing turnout to celebrate 21 years of the 47th’s existence. The stories were just as good as the food and fellowship! We are thankful to Ron Rodgers and 1SG Talon Page for leading the way in making this a memorable event for all.

We are thankful to all those that shared memories, like the first Commander, “Bull” Ditto and the current Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chief, National Guard Bureau, CSM John T. Raines, lll (former 1SG at the 47th CST).

47th CST is on mission at our beautiful Gulf Coast, shoulder to shoulder with Civilian Authorities in an effort to keep all attendees safe.

The 47th CST held a farewell ceremony for Captain Dylan Paul yesterday. Since 2022, Captain Paul has held the position of Operations Officer. The 47th CST expresses gratitude for Captain Paul's tireless efforts and dedication to the team. We wish him continued success in his future assignment.

The 47th CST successfully carried out an airlift operation to Seattle, WA, providing support to the 10th CST for their JHAT mission during the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The 47th would also like to extend sincere appreciation to the 172nd Airlift Wing for facilitating our transportation. They are undoubtedly the best at what they do!
